There's a monologue about love at the end of Call Me By Your Name that I still think about regularly and changed the way I approach heartbreak and emotional pain. Very truthful and soul bearing in a way few movies are. Even as a straight guy I think that movie is the best depiction of first love I've ever seen. Incredibly touching and memorable.
Spoilers below for anyone who hasn't seen it, but I'd very much recommend it.
"You had a beautiful friendship. Maybe more than a friendship. And I envy you. In my place, most parents would hope the whole thing goes away, to pray that their sons land on their feet. But I am not such a parent. In your place, if there is pain, nurse it. And if there is a flame, don’t snuff it out. Don’t be brutal with it. We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster than we should that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty and have less to offer each time we start with someone new. But to make yourself feel nothing so as not to feel anything. What a waste...
...Remember, our hearts and our bodies are given to us only once. And before you know it, your heart is worn out, and, as for your body, there comes a point when no one looks at it, much less wants to come near it. Right now, there's sorrow, pain. Don't kill it and with it the joy you've felt."
I was wondering what moments or scenes stuck with people in a similar way?
